Story Highlights

For one week only, more than 20 restaurant locations around Kentuckiana will be serving up your favorite burgers for just $5. From gourmet blends to off-menu specialties, each restaurateur and chef will prepare their unique take on the burger for the event July 22-28.

Presented by the Kentucky Beef Council, the seven-day Louisville Burger Week offers you a chance to sink your teeth into crave-worthy creations — some created especially just for the event — along with Goodwood beer pairings, Coopers' Craft bourbon specials and more.

Each burger will be offered at the low price point to get people "to embrace the food, culture and Louisville-love while getting them out to eat, drink, and try new places," according to its website.

Here's how it works: Pick up a Burger Passport and get it stamped at least four times at participating locations throughout the week and be eligible for a grand prize drawing featuring a Grill and Ultimate Grill Out.

Easy, right? Just grab a passport at louisvilleburgerweek.com, enjoy some delicious burgers and enter to win some serious prizes.

And these aren't just meat-plus-bun-equals-burger recipes. They are handcrafted, gourmet, over-the-top creations that will have you begging for more (well, maybe after you unbutton your pants to give yourself some breathing room).

Here's a full list of restaurants participating in 2019 Louisville Burger Week:

So what delectable burgers are on your future? Stop by The Butchertown Social, 1601 Story Ave., for the "Won't you Brie my Date" burger, which features an Angus beef patty, applewood-smoked bacon, melty brie, balsamic onion and date jam, cookie butter and mixed greens on toasted brioche.

Or take a bite out of "The Best Figgin' Burger" at Griff's, 133 W. Liberty St., which is a 1/2-pound house burger blend, topped with fig jam, Gorgonzola cheese, beer braised onions and arugula, all served on a fresh potato bun.

And if both of those delicious sounding burgers sound too fancy for you, head over to O'Shea's Irish Pub, 956 Baxter Ave., for the "O'Shea's Classic." Dressed with lettuce, tomato, onion and O’Shea’s sauce, this burger is served on a toasted brioche bun.
